Touchpad Won't Go Into Devloper Mode

I tried searching the forums for a similar issue to mine, but no luck so far. Here is what my issue is: I purchased a touchpad today and updated the OS and got the preware app. I'm trying to enable developer mode as instructed and when I try to enter a password (I've never activated the developer mode) I get the error message Error Setting Developer Mode - Setting the Device to developer mode failed. Any thoughts? Any assistance much appreciated.

Thank You! I was trying to get my touchpad going and couldn't get into developer mode. Where did I think of searching for help? precentral of coourse and sure enough, Solution!
I just hit submit without entering a password and good to go. It made it seem like you have to enter it, but you don't.
